Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr M R Barton brought claims against CBF-Mech Ltd, heard by Employment Judge O'Rourke at London South by video on 12 September 2022. The respondent did not attend or take part. The tribunal found that the respondent failed to pay a redundancy payment when Mr Barton was dismissed on grounds of redundancy, and also failed to give notice of dismissal or pay in lieu of notice for the statutory notice period.
The redundancy payment was calculated at three weeks' pay using the agreed weekly pay rate of £524, producing £1,572. The notice element was calculated at two weeks' pay, producing £1,048. The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay a total of £2,620.
The claimant's claims for arrears of pay for November 2021 and for arrears of holiday pay were dismissed. The written record states that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested in accordance with the note at the end of the judgment.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
